Ingredients

1 box Auntie Anne’s® At Home Baking Kit
1 1/4 cup lukewarm tap water

Instructions

Mix water with one packet of active dry yeast and let it sit for 2 minutes.
Add the dough mix and stir until combined.
Knead dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 - 7 minutes.
Form the dough into a ball and place it in a bowl lined with non-stick aluminum foil or saran wrap. Cover and leave in a warm area for 30 min.
Once the dough has rested, cut off pieces and roll them into thin logs and form them into desired shape.
After your pretzels have been formed, dip them into a solution of baking soda and hot water.
Place your pretzels on a baking sheet and top with salt or cinnamon-sugar.
Bake in a 425 degrees F oven for 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, rotate the tray and bake for an additional 2 - 5 minutes or until golden brown.
Let cool and enjoy.
